The Transmission Company of Nigeria said its maintenance crew would on Saturday fix the Jos-Lafia 330kV transmission lines, which it said had been redundant for some time.
The PUNCH learnt that TCN on Saturday commenced what it called “scheduled preventive maintenance” on the Jos-Lafia 330kV transmission lines 1 and 2.
The seven-hour scheduled preventive maintenance commenced was scheduled to end by 4 pm.
However, the TCN said customers of the Jos Electricity Distribution Company in Bauchi would not be affected by the maintenance.
A statement by the TCN Public Affairs General Manager, Ndidi Mbah, read, “Since the Jos-Lafia transmission lines have been redundant for a while, Jos DisCo has been duly informed that there would be no load loss.
“Bauchi will get electricity supply from Kaduna-Jos 330kV lines.
“This means that Jos DisCo will still receive normal bulk power supply from TCN for onward transmission to its customers in Bauchi throughout the seven-hour maintenance exercise.”
The transmission company reiterated that regular maintenance of transmission equipment is critical to ensure optimal performance.
